income tax department has issued a warning to taxpayers who are yet to link their PAN with their Aadhaar. As per the latest update on the tax department’s e-filing website, “All PAN holders, who do not come under the exempt category as per Notification No. 37/2017, dated 11th May, 2017 and have not linked their Aadhaar with PAN yet, are requested to do so immediately. Failure to do so will lead to the unlinked PAN becoming inoperative.”
The website of UIDAI or Unique Identification Authority of India gives a complete guide to do the same. It has been simplified below.
1). Go to Income Tax e-filing portal https://incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in/
2). Register on the website. Your PAN number will be your ‘User ID’.
3). Log in by entering the User ID, password and date of birth.
4). Now, a pop-up window will appear, prompting you to link your PAN with Aadhaar.
5). If the window does not appear, go to ‘Profile Settings’ on the Menu bar and click on ‘Link Aadhaar’
6). Some blanks will already be filled such as name date of birth and gender as per the PAN details
7). Verify the PAN details on the screen with the ones mentioned on your Aadhaar.
8). If the details match, enter your Aadhaar number and click on the “Link now” button.
9). A pop-up message will inform you that your Aadhaar has been successfully linked to your PAN
10). You may also visit https://www.utiitsl.com/ OR https://www.egov-nsdl.co.in/ to link your PAN and Aadhaar
